What are the PC Specs to play in all MAX?

What are the PC Specs to play in all MAX or recommended settings?

Thanks :)

couldnt tell you exactly what they are but I'm running 1080p everything maxed on a i5 2320, galexy gt 640, and 8gb of ram. doesnt take a whole lot to run it at max.

Playing solo. No.

In parties, I don't even know if its possible. Will be testing tomorrow with a very high.end.rig.

what are you even saying? no to what?

and its VERY possible did you watch any of the streamers on the 1 week hc race? they did it fine.

you do not what so ever need a high end rig to run this game maxed out.

playing low and playing max dont change the fact that i get slowings dues to overcharged engine but i would be interested

No, it isn't. The way things are now, the game engine ends up getting overloaded if you have multiple people throwing gmp ele particle spam totems, no matter what kind of rig you're running.

One of the issues I've noticed occurring is that if you use ele particle spam in certain areas, you end up with black squares popping up on the screen. As part of an email chat I had with Chris, he explained that there's currently a limit of four lights per draw call. If you exceed that limit (and in party play, you will at some point), you get black empty boxes. He also said they are working on doubling that number to 8.

yes it is i watched the hardcore race and yes its not perfect they had crashes but they ran it just fine about 95% of the time if not more.

sure not saying it didnt happen but i havn't seen it for myself.

See, Max settings to me, means running at max settings at 60 FPS.

i5 2500k@ 4.2, 128 GB SSD, GB Windforce 670, 18 Mb internet=

Now, this is what happens in groups. This, sucks. I do have a better machine that this that I will be testing out group play on, but I'm saying. I dont think it will work.

From Chris: "The empty black square occur when the limit of four lights per draw-call is exceeded. There's a plan to support 8 later, but because that's several months of work, it hasn't been given priority. I believe that the particle tech will be a lot faster in the future when we improve it to render at a lower resolution and scale up, to conserve GPU fill-rate."

The game is great, and they are doing all they can to make it better, but none the less, Slayer's initial suspicion is completely correct.

From my own experience: The rig I usually play on isn't the best, but I've tried on a $12k beast, and the framerate still dropped well below 60fps which as Slayer noted, is what people generally mean when they talk about being able to run a game on max.

Especially when OB comes and people start getting more cosmetic effects (which will presumably exasperate the problem) I would really love to see "anti-effects" as either purchasable micro transactions or as standard options. Having to go split arrow just because lmp/fork ice shot makes my screen freak out isn't cool.

I'm not sure you know what your talking about.

For one, a lot of streamers, Kripp included, play on extremely low settings.

Try running an end game map in a party of 6, all running flame/spark totems and necro/summon builds. Even the most beastly of machines will get bogged down to <30 fps. It's not the computer, but a game still in the very early stages of optimization.
